netpog Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 The BetterBidding Hotwire hotel list for LAX currently shows no 3.5* hotel with Spa Services, but I see one now on Hotwire. I believe it to be the Holiday Inn Los Angeles Airport, which does have such a thing. (According to Expedia, and probably the HI website, and also a member post from a few months back.) Suggestion: One way to identify hotels, when the amenity lists are identical might be to use the Tripadvisor rating, which Hotwire gives (not necessarily in all views). So although the Crown Plaza LAX and the above Holiday Inn LAX might show identical amenities, the Crown Plaza has a TripAdvisor rating of 4, and Holiday Inn only 3 or 3.5. Question: How can we correct the hotel lists? Below are the full amenity lists for the two hotels in question, with notes. On the BB Hotwire hotel list, they can have identical amenity lists. (For example: See the last listing for each, which matches the first entry below.) This listing does match the BB hotel list: 3.5* Crowne Plaza Hotel - Los Angeles Int'l Arpt (Confirmed: a friend booked it)FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access,Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in showerTripadvisor: 4Hotwire: "4.5 of 5 rating" This listing isn't on the BB hotel list. It adds Spa Services. There's no pool. Not Boutique 3.5* Suspected Holiday Inn Los Angeles Airport (But NOT confirmed)FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Spa services,Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in showerHotwire says Tripadvisor=3, but it's 3.5 at Tripadvisor.com Link to comment
AaronJB Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 The listings only include what has been reported to the board and is changed when new amenity sets, star ratings or other information are confirmed. Please provide the date/s of travel and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the listing. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Link to comment
netpog Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I wanted *this* hotel, to connect with business associates. The amenity listing matched both this one and the Holiday Inn LAX. But I figured it out: see my previous posting. (Upshot: the reported Tripadvisor rating matched the Crown Plaza's. Plus, another listing showed Spa Services, which is almost surely the Holiday Inn LAX, although the hotel lists don't include Spa.) Price was $99/room/night. Currently $176 on Expedia & Hotels.com Master Bu Kyin told his novice disciples, "Typing a URL is not The Way. The True Way is revealed to those who use BetterBidding's links to Hot.wire and to Price.line." And the novices were enlightened. Link to comment
